Modify the prior to account for codset crowding #10

It has come to my attention that the more crowded a codeset gets the less opportunity there is to detect a known false positive. We've discussed this operationally (i.e. add frequencies to monitor to feed the training data). However when one frequency is scanned and it has, say, 20% of the codeset filled with valid tags there's a lot more room to detect false positives than when 80% of the codeset is filled. I suggest we apply a simple correction to the priors to accommodate this. The user will have to know what their codeset limits are. ALTERNATIVELY, we could put in a general scalar that could be used in a similar way. That way if we want to use the prior but increase or decrease the weight we could add that in.
